anyone who has any shitty things to say about his band was pretty much shut up by the whole bus crash thing, it's not really something he hears a whole lot to his face these days, you know? but he had a lot of fun with those guys and he misses a lot about it, it's just he wants to artistically (and emotionally, forever until he finally dies) distance himself from that time in his life... which isn't all that hard to understand if someone actually thinks about it lol. maybe they can become casual jam buddies in the future now that billy's starting to pick up his guitar again.
